Republican women have organized an outstanding program featuring dynamic speakers for their regional conference in Atlanta. (Photo: NFRW)Republican women know unity is critical ahead of 2014, and with that in mind, the National Federation of Republican Women chose unity as the theme for the regional summer conference in Atlanta.

Politics will blow your mind if you cover it long enough. I came across a video at Real Clear Politics featuring Herman Cain meeting with the editorial board of The Milwaukee Journal Sentinel.

The editors asked him about collective bargaining. Cain gave some very strange answers, including saying he backs collective bargaining for federal employees "as long as it doesn't create an undue burden on the taxpayers."

If you're a conservative, your mind may be blown. Mine was. Watch the video of Cain talking to the news staffers and you'll see why.

The Lincoln-Douglas themed debate between businessman Herman Cain and former Speaker of the House Newt Gingrich provided an opportunity for Americans to hear more than a 30 second sound bite from a presidential candidate.

Rep. Steve King began the event in The Woodlands, Texas, at the invitation of the Texas Patriots PAC. King gave a presentation that lasted nearly 15 minutes. Some commenters had plenty to say about that online.

Gingrich and Cain will square off on Saturday in a Lincoln-Douglas style debate. C-SPAN will televise the event and stream it live online. [Screen snip, C-SPAN]Presidential contenders Herman Cain and Newt Gingrich will square off in a debate modeled on the legendary Lincoln-Douglas debates, on Saturday, November 5. C-SPAN will broadcast the debate between the businessman and former Speaker of the US House of Representatives. The event runs from 8-9:30 p.m.

Many Americans have expressed annoyance with the debate format most status quo events rest on. Thus far, the only event that featured candidates in a manner that permitted an answer longer than a sound bite was Sen. Jim DeMint’s forum.

As the video shows, Obama has often joked about his birth certificate as he did during the White House Correspondents' Dinner in 2010. Obama was received with raucous applause and enthusiasm by the press, most of whose members actively lobbied to get him elected.

A storybrewing about Herman Cain and another story about Texas Gov. Rick Perry have nothing to do with each other except for the fact both stories continue a longstanding tradition by Democrat-allied media.

I keep telling conservatives we’re not only battling the leftwing, we’re battling a powerful media machine that has run interference for Democrats all my life.

Frum sails through the GOP presidential field, ticking off nominees for various reasons. He admits Texas Governor Rick Perry “can at least claim experience in government,” but Frum insults the governor by saying he “may not be the sharpest pencil in the pack…”
